As a boy I didn't buy comic books, my brother did, hundreds, perhaps thousands of them.
I remember the creation of Spiderman and The Incredible Hulk.
One of the few good things my brother did was to buy comic books, I wish that we had kept them.

Now, if you were or are somewhat of a comic book/ superhero aficionado, which did you prefer Marvel or DC?
I found DC to be corny and wondered why these heroes hung out with a young guy in tights.:confused:

Bonus question, Why was Batman a super hero? He belonged to the JLA (look it up:p)
and had no, I repeat none no super powers. He was a stunt man!!!!

His power was in his gadgets.

Perhaps Gadget man would have been a more appropriate name?

Then why not call Superman Captain Invincible instead. A major part of Bat Man's back story was that as a boy he was afraid of bats, but overcame the fear. When he took to the streets to avenge the murder of his parents he used the guise of the Bat to instill fear into the criminals. His gadgets were often Bat shaped or otherwise inspired (as much as possible) hence the name Bat Man. Gadget man was another hero from and indie comic who also used gadgets, but that was about all there was to him, just an inventor of gadgets who took to fighting crime.

Are you SURE?

Do you actually remember the CREATION of Spiderman...in the Amazing Adult Fantasy #15 comic?

I DO!!

Some people remember Spiderman #1, but AAF 15 was its ancestor.

Now, I REALLY wish it wasn't true that "my mother threw it away." Granted, I wasn't very good at taking care of my stuff at the time (often leaving things on the floor and stepping all over them, writing all over stuff, etc.) and chances are that I did something to degrade the one that I had...but copies of that comic, in cherry condition, reliably bring more than $100,000.

AAF wasn't a widely-sold comic, but when I w as a boy it was by far my favorite comic; the short stories were Twilight Zone type fantasy, indeed true to the name of the comic.

One of my favorite stories was one called "The Terror of Tim Boo Ba."
 
Marvel, it has cooler heroes and villains.
 
Marvel. Besides Batman I have no interest in DC, though I did like Suicide Squad
 
I used to be a dedicated marvel guy but DC has been so good lately. The comics not the movies
 
I've always liked Marvel more, mostly because of the X-men because it's easy to read it as an allegory for being different like being gay for example.

Oh and Batman has all the money so he's bankrolling the JLA. Plus he has a genius level intellect and is the world's best detective or something like that, he got brain powers.

I really like Dark Horse comics though.
 
I liked Harvey Comics..and The Flinstones...

Bright colors and happy characters were the only comics I was attracted to...

Not a fan of Super Heroes except for The X Men but they weren't around then...
 
I prefer DC.

As a teen, DC comics were like porn with all the modelesque pretty boy heroes in bright, tight spandex, being so selfless, caring, and fun. Everything I wanted to be (and/or subconsciously have) in a male.

Meanwhile, my cousin read Marvel, so I read his comics and would try to give them a shot but it felt like they were always whining about being Mutants. Subjugated. Different. Outcasts. Shunned...

Beast. The Hulk. The Thing. Nightcrawler. Colossus. Wolverine... most of what Marvel had to offer were characters my young shallow mind couldn't aspire to wanting to emulate or find attractive. Marvel was dark and serious, while DC (back then) was generally light hearted and fun.

Every "normal" kid wants to be Superman. What kind of troubled kid wants to be The Hulk?

I think that's why I liked them, it portrayed a world where the bright eyed blonde quarter back was "cool" but could do nothing more than throw a football, while the outcasts and the shunned had a sensitive spot and were scarred, yet still tried to do right.

I think what really burned me on Batman was that damned "camp" tv series in the mid '60's, I wasn't a teen yet and thought is was so immature and stupid.

I also loved the tight spandex!
 
I like both, but my favorite comics character is a DC property so I have to choose them
 
Batman's my favorite superhero, but on the whole I like the characters in the Marvel Universe a lot better, they have more interesting stories to tell and the comics are generally darker. Also I can't stand Superman, dude is practically invincible, witty, cultured, extremely intelligent, very attractive, doesn't age and is immortal. Where is the fun in that???

That's another of the comic series that I was picking up in my boyhood...I think those are kinda collectible now, too?

Do you remember "An imaginary tale of Superman?" DC would come out with these and it was kind of "this doesn't count" and go into bizarre story lines, I was 11 or 12 and remember thinking "but I thought he was imaginary to begin with?"
 
I will just pick Vertigo because of Y the Last Man. One of my favorite series I ever read and I personally don't read many comics.
